So Amtrak's California Zephyr is not running any more? How about their other routes?  It is interesting that Amtrak's site will let me book an economy seat from San Francisco to Chicago for $171 leaving Aug 22 if the rail system is dead.  How does that work?

Now that is a good deal. If my wife could get into USA, we would like to take that ride. 

Toronto to Vancouver one way economy cost $880 with Via Rail on same date but only $250 by Greyhound bus. Both take about 3 days.

Yeah I liked to watch the living in Asia series too, but it was in Tagalog, then I'd get my wife to translate it to me. When we went and saw some of the places the translation wasn't the same as the documentation. " Simple " my wife would say, "they got the sound and the pictures mixed up", I don't speak Tagalog and I haven't won an argument with my wife yet, so if there is any budding photographers out their, get your bloody act together and don't mix your wording and scenery up, it buggers us poor Aussies up.

Last year we made four X 2 week trips to Myanmar, Australia, Taiwan and Vietnam. I felt it was a little too much traveling but when a promo ticket comes up  i cannot resist booking it straight away. This year we have been to Cambodia and next month we will visit Japan. Next year we already have promo tickets to Korea and Sri Lanka. 2019 who knows?  

That's one of the things I look forward to the most, the ability to go when we want in relation to when the promos, etc come up and allow cheap travel.  One fella I know in Sorsogon even got a RT tix to Seattle this yr for under $500, flying Asiana in Mar-Apr timeframe.   Very much looking forward to traveling the PI and around Asia....I'm too much of a rolling stone to do otherwise.   Soon!
